Denver's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program Reaches Capacity, Suspends Services
Denver's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program has reached its capacity and has temporarily suspended collection services. The city anticipates restoring sponsorship for the program by early 2027. This program allows Denver residents to properly dispose of and recycle toxic household products that are harmful if improperly discarded. These items include automotive fluids, batteries, various chemicals, paints, pesticides, and other hazardous materials. Residents were previously eligible for one collection appointment per calendar year, subject to availability, with a $15 co-payment. The program cannot accept asbestos, explosives, ammunition, commercial chemicals, bio-waste, or sharps.
